How far did you get into Lone Echo? My favorites parts are after you leave Kronos II - especially that shuttle ride to the ‘other place’ - one of the best VR experiences I’ve had, including anything in HL:A.
I hear ya, I hate when games have too much story. The stories are never any good and usually outright eye-rollingly bad. I particularly hate when they do “…”
Legend of Zelda, the very first one. Yoshi’s Island. FIFA.
There’s a couple of places that need passcodes and figuring out riddles. Sometimes you team is smart enough to remember them, other times not so much.
It also comes in handy with Dialog Options when no one in your team has ‘talking’ as a primary stat. You can still punch in the triggering word manually.
You’re basically the sixth member of the team if you can remember all that stuff. It’s neat little feature. Pen and paper absolutely required.
“Pete Complete” is just amazing in everything he does. Very well planned and narrated let’s plays with the goal of achieving 100% competition of a game in one playthrough.
I particularly enjoyed the Mass Effect series. Mass Effect 3 is almost complete now.
He also played Mutant Year Zero, XCOM, different RimWorld expansions and more.
I'd say getting older and having more responsibilities is a bigger part of it. When you're young and have lots of free time to devote to a game, a 100 hour game is no big deal. When you have a fraction of that time, you just don't want to deal with that. I'm equally wary as well.
There's definitely some change to the gaming scene, like all the cheap sales and freebies. Very easy to build a backlog of games while barely trying.
Call Me Kevin’s videos are golden. I’ve rewatched his Comedy Night series so many times. Iconic. His Sims videos are always a riot.
One of my favorite videos of his is this video he made in “The Movies.” The final result is at the end of the video and it is a glorious experience.
I’ve also been watching a lot of short horror game playthroughs from Markiplier and Kubz Scouts, like the ones where they play 3 random scary games. They both have an episode where they play Bad Ben and it’s so good. It’s the first game in both episodes. The game is fucking hilarious, has a specific feature that I think all horror games should have now, and actually has a really cool ending. Apparently it’s based on a film by Nigel Bach.
I know Axiom Verge has a Speedrun mode that cuts out all the cutscenes, I don’t know if that qualifies though, and you do kind of have to know what’s going on outside of that. The story itself isn’t necessary to enjoy the game though.
